Thrustmaster TMX-FORCE-FEEDBACK user manual

1. Get Your Gear Ready: Unpackage your Thrustmaster TMX steering wheel and ensure everything is in the box.
2. Mount the Wheel: First, select a suitable location for the wheel base. You ideally want to choose a flat, sturdy area where the base can hold steady during use. Once selected, you can mount the wheel by using the attached clamps.
3. Connect the Pedals: The pedals connector port is located on the back of the wheel's base. Plug the pedals' cord into this connector port. Make sure the connection is firm.
4. Connect to a Power Source: After successfully connecting the pedals, you can now plug the power adapter into the wheel and then into a compatible power outlet.
5. Connect to your PC or Console: Plug the provided USB cord into the port labeled "USB" found on your wheel's base. Plug the other end into a USB slot on your gaming console or your PC.
6. Install the Drivers: Before getting started, make sure the latest drivers are installed if you’re playing on a PC. You can download the drivers from the official Thrustmaster website.
7. Calibration: Most of the time, your device automatically calibrates after driver installation. If not, you can manually begin this process in your device's control panel.
8. Set Up Your Preferences: Once everything is successfully connected and calibrated, you can now open your game and set up your preferences according to your liking.
Remember, the setup process may vary slightly depending on the specific game console or PC you are using. Check the instruction manual or the Thrustmaster website for more specific instructions if needed.

There could be several reasons why your Thrustmaster Force Feedback is not working. Here are some possible causes:
1. Faulty connection: Check if the cables connecting your Thrustmaster device to your computer or gaming console are securely plugged in. Try unplugging and reconnecting them to ensure a proper connection.
2. Incorrect settings: Ensure that the force feedback settings are correctly configured in the game or simulation you are playing. Check the game's options or settings menu to enable force feedback for your Thrustmaster device.
3. Outdated drivers: Make sure you have the latest drivers and firmware installed for your Thrustmaster device. Visit the Thrustmaster website and search for your specific model to find and download the most recent drivers.
4. Compatibility issues: Some games or simulations may not fully support force feedback for all Thrustmaster devices. Check if your specific game or software is compatible with your particular Thrustmaster device.
5. Hardware malfunction: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, there may be a hardware problem with your Thrustmaster device. Contact Thrustmaster customer support for assistance or consider sending the device in for repair or replacement if it is still under warranty.

The mode button on the Thrustmaster TMX force feedback racing wheel is used to switch between different modes or profiles on the wheel. There are typically three modes available:
1. PC Mode: This mode is used for PC gaming and allows you to configure and customize the wheel settings through the Thrustmaster Control Panel software.
2. Xbox Mode: This mode is used for Xbox console gaming. When the wheel is connected to an Xbox console, it automatically switches to this mode, and you can adjust settings directly through the console's settings menu.
3. PlayStation Mode: This mode is used for PlayStation console gaming. Similarly to Xbox Mode, when the wheel is connected to a PlayStation console, it automatically switches to this mode, and you can adjust settings through the console's settings menu.
To switch between these modes, you typically need to press and hold the mode button for a few seconds until the mode indicator light or LED changes to the desired mode. The exact method may vary slightly depending on the specific version of the TMX wheel.
